I was involved in theater before, and I always thought I would close my shop and do my own thing at the age of 40. Despite winning three international awards for my career, I closed down my business and dove headfirst into showbiz. It’s been a wonderful journey since then. “

dispute
In 2009, he appeared as a celebrity guest on the TV show “Sach Ka Saamna” where he revealed about his personal life. He said,
It was a conscious decision on my part to appear on the show. I knew some very embarrassing and controversial facts about my life, like my relationships, were going to be exposed out there, but I wanted to be honest with myself and those around me. Yes, these questions fascinate me and my family, but trust me, we are closer and more understanding now than we were before. “
He further added,
Yes, I’ve been married three times, but I’m probably still looking for that partner who fully understands. But I am now in my 60s and maybe this search will never end! “
During the show, he was asked if he had children outside of marriage. He replied,
I had a few physical relationships with that woman, so I’m not sure if the child was my own, but I had an illegitimate child. I believe in the power of truth and I am not on the show for the money; I just want to tell the truth. I can sum up my feelings in one sentence – the devil was in a cage and now I set it free. “
die
He passed away on October 30, 2021 due to complications from COVID-19. He is undergoing treatment at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai. Following his death, his son-in-law shared a touching post on his social media profile. He wrote,
I have completed 2 schedules of Shahid. We are stuck. I am very troubled. A career as a non-existent filmmaker was all but over. He just walked up to me and said I have a fixed deposit and if you are going to such trouble, it is of no use to me. He wrote a check. Shahid is done. That was Yusuf Hussein. Not my father-in-law, but my father. He is life—if life itself must have physical form. “
He further added,
Today he is gone. Remind all the women in heaven that they are “Duniya ki sabse khubsurat ladki” and remind all the men that they are “Haseen naujwaan”. And then ends with a sonorous “Love you love you love you.” Yusuf Saab I owe my new life to you. I am truly an orphan today. Life will never be the same. I will miss you very much. My Urdu is still fragmented. Yes – love you love you love you! “
